company news Plotbox New Technology Solution supporting Bereavement Services in Wirral Wirral Council Cemeteries and Crematorium Service have implemented the PlotBox Funeral Director Portal in response to what was a business-critical need for digital comms at the height of the pandemic. The portal provides Funeral Directors with 24/7 online access to view and request booking slots from cemetery and crematorium diaries. Ian Dallinger, owner of Ian Dallinger Funeral Directors in Wallasey on The Wirral, describes a typical process of booking slots when with the family prior to having access to the portal: “We'd have to phone the crematorium, then we'd go back to the family, speak to them about the time slots that were available, back on the phone to the crematorium to ask about availability - and you were to and fro between phoning the office and going back to your family.” Ian explains how the process has changed: “You can literally visit a family at home, bring up the crematorium diary on your phone, and you can talk through the family with what times are available…and they can choose one themselves that suits them best.” To learn more, visit www.plotbox.io
